Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to improve the accuracy of bend correction for paper sheets while reducing the time required for post-processing. A post-processing apparatus is used, which includes a corrector for bend correction and a post-processor for post-processing the paper sheet. The inventor has developed a hardware processor that selects the method for bend correction based on the accuracy of the correction and the productivity of the final product. This results in faster post-processing times and better accuracy of bend correction.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, it is possible to increase bend correction accuracy for paper sheets, but the overall productivity might drop.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Hereinafter, one or more embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments.

[0014]FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example configuration of an entire image forming system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, an image forming system has a configuration in which a post-processing apparatus 3 is connected to the downstream side of an image forming apparatus 2. The post-processing apparatus 3 includes a post-processor 71 and a controller 300, and performs various kinds of post-processing on a paper sheet P being conveyed from the image forming apparatus 2. The post-processing apparatus 3 will be described later in detail. The image forming apparatus 2 is a color image forming apparatus of an intermediate transfer type using an electrophotographic process technology. In the image forming apparatus 2, a vertical tandem system is adopt...

Abstract

A post-processing apparatus performs post-processing on a paper sheet conveyed from a previous stage side, and includes: a corrector that performs bend correction on the paper sheet, in accordance with one of a plurality of bend correction methods; a post-processor that performs the post-processing on the paper sheet subjected to the bend correction performed by the corrector; and a hardware processor that selects one of the plurality of bend correction methods, on the basis of a bend correction accuracy corresponding to a product to be created by the post-processing being performed by the post-processor, and a productivity of the product, wherein from the plurality of bend correction methods, the hardware processor selects a bend correction method that reduces a difference between a post-processing time required for the post-processor to perform the post-processing and a correction time required for the corrector to perform the bend correction on the paper sheet.

Description

[0001]The entire disclosure of Japanese patent Application No. 2018-179796, filed on Sep. 26, 2018, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUNDTechnological Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to a post-processing apparatus.Description of the Related Art[0003]A post-processing apparatus that performs post-processing on a paper sheet having an image formed thereon by an image forming apparatus is used in conventional cases. Such post-processing apparatuses include a post-processing apparatus that divides and cuts a paper sheet into pieces, and then outputs products, for example. In a suggested technology, in a case where bend correction is performed on a paper sheet by aligning the position of the paper sheet before the paper sheet is cut in such a post-processing apparatus, a different bend correction method is selected depending on the number of products (see JP 2013-039998 A, for example). In another suggested technology, a sheet bend correction method usi...
